As expected, no matter what, Divine Doctor Shi really relied on Qi Bao'er to kick Shui Qing's disciple, euphemistically calling it "just in case."
Chewing the buns and looking at the sights that were completely unclear as they passed by to the left and right, Divine Doctor Shi felt a little dizzy and quickly cast his gaze to the distance ahead.
Ha, it feels much more comfortable.
"Bao'er, how many days will it take for us to turn back?"
Why does he feel that he is faster than when he came?
Qi Baoer silently calculated the time: it took them four days to go to Pingyuan Pass, three days to stay at Pingyuan Pass, and it took seven days. According to the pace of the grain team, if they rushed slowly in one day, they could only walk 60 miles at most.
Kilometers, seven days is about 400 kilometers.
"They should be near Yangcheng in Jingzhou now. We can arrive in three days at the latest."
Upon hearing Yang Cheng, Doctor Shi stopped eating the cake, and his face became a little more solemn, "Yang Cheng, I remember that the White Ghost Cult had activities there."
"right."
Before departure, the emperor asked Linwei to secretly send her a map of the entire Qilin Kingdom and a map of the entire southern region divided into blocks.
Oh, and there is also a piece of white paper with many markings on it. It is made of unknown material and looks like leather and paper.
The size of the white paper is the same as the map of Qilin Kingdom. After it is restored to the map, the map underneath can be seen clearly. This is used for marking.
The south area of the map on the white paper has been marked a lot.
Where are the plague areas that have been reported to the imperial court, where have the White Ghost cultists appeared, where have they been flooded, etc.
The emperor really trusts her!
Regarding these two maps and the white paper, Qi Baoer really hated the emperor for his plan. The words on the white paper were all written by the emperor himself.
Alas, she really owed this Qilin Kingdom.
"Have you told General Qi before you came? This matter should not be taken lightly. I went around in the south last year. At that time, the number of White Ghost Cult was already very large, and the common people were even more disgusted by the White Ghost Cult.
.”
He witnessed with his own eyes a small county town that was massacred by the White Ghost Cult.
"At that time, I sprained my foot and was rescued by a group of victims. The county magistrate in the county did not do anything. Since the disaster started in the south, he has been keeping the city gates closed. You have to go through the county town to take that road. He made this pass
At the city gate, there are more and more victims outside the city.
On the night we arrived at the city gate, people from the White Ghost Sect came. At first, they arrested people, including strong men, young women and girls. Later, when victims of the disaster resisted, they ignored the elderly and children.
cut.
Alas, it was really a river of blood.
The leader of the group of victims who rescued me was a little clever. He took his people and hid in the woods for the night far away from the city gate, so he had a chance to escape.
Later we met another group of victims, saying that the county town was invaded by the White Ghost Cult. The county magistrate and his family were beheaded, and their heads were still hanging at the city gate. All the people in the city were not spared, and they were not robbed.
, is to become a soul killed by the sword."
When it comes to peasant uprisings, in disaster years, it is inevitable if the government fails to act, so the court will save so much money and grain to provide timely relief in disaster years.
However, as a court is so big and has so many officials, there will always be some unscrupulous people.
After more than two years and almost three years of disaster relief, isn't it true that victims are still everywhere in the South?
Compared with the victims in the north who have begun to return home, the officials in the south are really not that bad at all.
It's just that the White Ghost Cult is not like a peasant uprising at all, but more like a group of evil ghosts finally getting a chance to get together.
Qi Baoer didn't look good either. She hurried back because she was worried about her father's safety.
Nothing can happen to people, and nothing can happen to money and grain.
No one knows the exact number of people in the White Ghost Sect now, and no one knows where its most important station is. However, the imperial court received a memorial from the south that mentioned that the government had destroyed several places that were originally bandits' nests and were now white ghosts.
A small station where the Ghost Cult is stationed.
But this is useless, the source has not been solved, and if you destroy the small station, they can still create another one in another place.
Although she had made arrangements for her father and left a strong fighting force behind, what if the White Ghost Sect concentrated all its fighting force to suppress it with numbers?
Her father and the others still had to protect a group of criminals who might be stabbed in the back.
Can she not be in a hurry?
Qi Baoer and Doctor Shi are worried about the food transport team. As they feared, they are now in trouble.
It's not that they encountered the White Ghost Sect, but that they were running out of water.
They are now in the midst of endless mountains. They haven't seen any water since yesterday morning, but they have found a few springs, all of which have dried up.
Today at noon, we finally encountered a river, but at a bend in the upper reaches of the river, the scouts saw hundreds of swollen and rotten corpses.
All the corpses were killed with sharp weapons. It can be seen from their clothes that dozens of men, women, old and young came from wealthy families. Their outer clothes had been stripped off, but the inner clothes still on their bodies were made of fine silk.
Dozens of other people were all wearing outerwear, and they looked like they were in convenient attire like escorts.
This is obviously an escort escorting a rich man who was robbed.
There was an imperial doctor in the team, and he immediately reminded everyone that this water could not be drunk, as the corpses were rotting, and if they drank this water, they would definitely get plague.
They didn't even dare to let people bury those corpses. They picked them up with big nets, piled them up and burned them. After burning, they sprinkled lime on the spot and buried them.
When this happened, the entire team, including the prisoners, fell silent.
Now they walked forward all afternoon, but still couldn't find any drinkable water on the road.
The food transport team was better here, and the imperial doctors who were traveling with them were all good people. When they passed by the county seat, the county magistrate specifically reminded them that because this mountain forest is located at a high altitude, there are not many water sources. The imperial doctors took the initiative to walk.
, the carriage carriages they were originally riding in were dismantled and used to fill the water.
So now the grain transport team can barely supply water.
It was different on the side of the prisoner team. The yamen only had one carriage and three screw carts, and the three screw carts were loaded with grain, and the one carriage was full of things that the prisoners would use on the road, as they had been doing for a long time.
Some prisoners can still hold on if they have water bladders, but those who don’t...
Cha Tou was also very regretful. His claws were numb when he saw the prisoners constantly falling down due to lack of water. He wanted to make money, but he never thought about killing these prisoners!
He just found out that there was a river in the mountains, and thought that he could get water when he reached the river. There were not many people in the team without water bags, and only those who were less than 100 could die from thirst for a day.
Who knows...
"Pray for help, General." He wanted to hug his thigh.
Qi Kang'an was checking the team when suddenly someone rushed towards him and he kicked him instinctively.
